Re: [TruthTalk] Dave uses Socratic Method of Teaching LDS doctrine on TT
I don't let it worry me much. Spring 1895 General ConferenceWilford Woodruff Cease troubling yourselvesabout who God is; who Adam is, who Christ is, who Jehovah is. For heaven's sake, let these things alone. Why trouble yourselves about these things? God has revealed himself andwhen the 121st section of the Doctrine and Covenants is fulfilled, whether there be ONE God or many Gods they will be revealed to the children of men, as well as all thrones and dominions, principalities, and powers. Then why trouble yourselves about these things? God is God. Christ is Christ. The Holy Ghost is the Holy Ghost. That should be enough for you and me to know. If we want to know anymore, wait till we get where God is in person. I say this because we are troubled every little while with inquiries from Elders anxious to know who God is, who Christ is, and who Adam is. I say to the Elders of Israel, stop this. Humble yourselves before the Lord; seek for light, for truth, and for a knowledge of the common things of the Kingdom of God. The Lord is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He changes not. The Son of God is the same. He is the Savior of the world. He is our advocate with the Father. We have had letter after letter from Elders abroad wanting to know concerning these things. Adam is the first man. He was placed in the Garden of Eden, and is our great progenitor. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, are the same yesterday, today, and forever. That should be sufficient to know. (Millennial Star 57:355-356, April 7, 1895) April of 1889, George Q. CannonGeneral Conference: There are TWO personages, the Father and the Son. God is the being who walked in the Garden of Eden, and who talkedwith the prophets. This revelation came to us in certainty. (Millennial Star 51:278; April 7, 1889) Brigham Young, in a sermon in the tabernacle in Salt Lake City on April 9, 1852, said: "When our Father Adam came into the garden of Eden, he came into it with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with him. He helped to make and organize this world. He is Michael, the Archangel, the Ancient of Days, and about whom holy men have written and spoken. He is our Father and our God, and the only God with whom we have to do." Of "His son, Jesus Christ," Brigham Young said: I tell you that God was the Father of Jesus Christ, just as I am the Father of my son." Some have grumbled because I believe our God so near to us as Father Adam. (JD 5:331) How much unbelief exists in the minds of the Latter-day Saints in regard to one particular doctrine which I revealed to them, and which God revealed to me -- namely that Adam is our Father and God -- I do not know, I do not inquire, I care nothing about it. Our Father Adam helped to make this earth, it was created expressly for him, and after it was made he and his companions came here. (Deseret Weekly News 22:308-309, June 18, 1873) Michael (Adam) was a resurrected being and he left Elohim and came to the earth with an immortal body, and continued so till he partook of earthly food and begat children whowere mortal (keep this to yourselves) and then they died. (Wilford Woodruff Journal, January 27, 1860)In the 1870 meeting of the School of the Prophets, Brigham counseled: "... the brethren to meditate on the subject, pray about it and keep it to yourselves."

Smith Journal,October 15, 1870)Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Charles Perry Locke wrote: Dave, I see a dilemma in your statement that Jesus was a god before he came to earth as a human, when compared to your own position (not a god) prior to coming to earth as a human.

If you dont mind, Id like to answer these questions one at a time. DO LATTER-DAY SAINTS BELIEVE THAT JESUS AND SATAN ARE OR WERE BROTHERS? To give a proper answer, this will take a bit of explanation. First, most non-LDS Christians believe in the pre-mortality of Jesus. We do also. We also believe that all who live on this earth, past and present, lived before with God in Heaven. We believe that God is literally the Father of our spirits. "Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?" (Heb 12:9) "Have we not all one father?..." (Mal 2:10a) "One God and Father of all..." (Eph 4:6a) "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." (Eccl 12:7) Being children of God we were all brothers and sisters. Jesus, known as Jehovah in the OT, was our Fathers firstborn. And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. (Heb 1:6) In mortality, Jesus would be Gods Only Begotten. Jeremiah was informed that he lived before he was born. "Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." (Jer 1:4-5) Our Father presented a plan to us. "And the Lord God spake unto Moses, saying: The heavens, they are many, and they cannot be numbered unto man; but they are numbered unto me, for they are mine. And as one earth shall pass away, and the heavens thereof even so shall another come; and there is no end to my works, neither to my words. For behold, this is my work and my gloryto bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." (Moses 1:38-40) While we were in the presence of God we walked by sight; now, our memories are taken away and we walk by faith. "There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after." (Eccl 1:11) "And there stood one among them that was like unto God, and he said unto those who were with him: We will go down, for there is space there, and we will take of these materials, and we will make an earth whereon these may dwell; and we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them; and they who keep their first estate shall be added upon; and they who keep not their first estate shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate; and they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever."

"For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne about the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most high." (Isa 14:13-14) A Savior is Chosen. "And I, the Lord God, sake unto Moses, saying: That Satan, whom thou hast commanded in the name on mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the beginning, and he came before me, sayingBehold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor. But, behold, my Beloved Son, which was my Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, said unto meFather, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever. Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;..." (Moses 4:1-3) "And the Lord said: Whom shall I send? And one answered like unto the Son of Man: Here am I, send me. And another answered and said: Here am I, send me. And the Lord said: I will send the first. And the second was angry, and kept not his first estate; and at that day, many followed after him." (Abr 4:27-28) War in Heaven. "And there was a war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their pace found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." (Rev 12:7-9)

Can you beleive it? I saw Protestantism for Dummies in Barnes and Noble the other day. I sat down and read few sections...I wanted to know what they believe, too! Especially info about the 2nd Great Awakening. There was some major spiritual activity going on around that time. Many heretical sects sprung up during the early 1800s, and I am interested in what was going on at that time to cause that.

Re: [Bulk] [TruthTalk] Fond Farewells
Alrighty let's try this again. You, Kevin Deegan, are the one who sets the tone for so much of the discussion.Its kind of like the Jew and the Arab thing ---others the Jew and you the Arab. If you would stop the suicide bombings (read: self destructive behavior), speak out of love and hope to those with whom you have a disagreement, you would findthose very things (love and hope) coming back to you . Go back and read the last 15 or so posts between you and Caroline. She stays on point --you go postal in every case. You treated her like a jerk, not caring enough about her supposed error(s) to patiently reason with her.Then there are those whom you can't run off with your bully tactics -- Lance, Gary, my humble self - and you really hate that. p; The plan is this: blastaway and get rid of those eviile false teachers and life will be good. That is your plan. Do you realize that youare the only one on this forum who acts this way? As much as Miller and I dislike each other, I must say that in spite of his condescension, he does not come close to your style ofnastiness.

[TruthTalk] TT Trivia
TT members, Did you know that TT has a photo page? Most of you probably do know that, but for those that do not, check it out at http://innglory.org. Then click on the Photos link, then List members. As I glanced through the pictures, and noticed a new picture or two since the last time I looked, being able to attach faces to the names gave me real appreciation for all of you. We often hide behind the anonymity of the itnernet, recognizable in name only, most likely posting and speaking differently than we would if we were face-to-face. But, when we attach a face to the name, it makes a world of difference. The name at the other end of the wire now becomes a human being. I have noticed a similar effect on the crowded freeways of Los Angeles. When I use only my turn signal to indicate that I wish to merge into another lane, fery few will open up to let me in. But when I open my window, and turn and look the other driver in the eye, and motion to get in, I have NEVER been refused. Demonstrable proof that the eyes are the window to the soul. I encourage everyone to do two things. First, go to the TT photo page and take a look at the members who have posted their pictures. Take a long look at each of them. Look a their eyes. Tell me if it does not make a difference in at least some small way. Second, if your picture is not on the page, consider forwarding one to David to be added. Let us get a good look at you. Let us begin to think of you in a more humane way, rather than as just a name at the end of the wire. One final note. When you look at the picture of David and his family, try to pick Christine out (it is not difficult). Then, click on her name and watch the video of her graduation.

[TruthTalk] Where have all the non-fundies gone save (excepting)
the Bishop and the 'myth man'? Ya gots the Amen corner patting one another on the back while the sub text includes mutual monologues (not a dialogue) between Mormons and those who seek to 'gospelize' them.The Mormons themselves attempt to walk some sort of line between identifying themselves as the one true 'recovered' church and calling themselves 'christians'. Not gonna do it, in any orthodox sense, while preaching the Jesus they preach. Just look at who you 'frustrated' off TT: Slade, Bill, Jonathan, Caroline and Debbie. Unlike myself, they could both write and, had something to say worth engaging. Wake up O thou that sleepest! Do not walk off into the sunset of oblivion needlessly.

Re: [TruthTalk] Where have all the non-fundies gone save (excepting)
Life on the religious right is all about eliminating the competition. We are not family members with differing ideas -- rather we are competitors to be shunned and even abandoned. The RR speaks of truth but without love -- even making fun of the concept or defining it (love) into non-existence. Their lives (the fundies ) are full of busy work -- "Com'on, HURRY. We must pray this tornado into Quaker country. Let them deal with the death and ravage." Or we fill our plate up with the busy work of posted review: "Nah, darl'in - no time for fun and games tonight. I have to review TT . God has called me to be a protector of the truth and has ordained tactics that, if Hitler had been a Bishop, he would have used. If I persist, they will leave -- to hell with winning them over. See you in the morning, my dove pumkin." Or we think to make claims that can never be tested (as in test the spirits ) and are not that important anyway. "And if the 'visitors' should ever use any of our tactics , well, well, SHAME on them!! We are the enlightened. We say it all right. We think it all right. We only need God when we fail. God has ordained harshness, but only if we use it!!" They are busy "saving" people." Discipling is not their bag. It is all about the notches on the gun handle. All the while the world is driven further away -- but they are lost anyway sowho really cares. Yes, God is love but that has more to do with judgment than anything else.

Re: [TruthTalk] Million dollar question from Christine
Thank you for your thoughts, Ruben. I guess you're right.I could be more laid-back about how gray the Lord keeps some of His issues. Is this atopic where it's best to let the person just be convicted by the Lord? What do you say to those drunks on Bourbon St. or the Homosexuals? (Especially since James 4's "Faith without works is a dead faith" is in an epistle, lol.) Ruben: Sorry for the delay, we had company and Jed stayed over so now I will respond. Yes Christine, if they claim to be saved, I exhort them of holiness. The lifestyle must match the faith, which of course they accuse us of believing salvation by works. Many of these lost souls have been told to repeat a sinners prayer and from that were told they were saved, sealed and forgiven for past, present and future sin. SIDEBAR: past (maybe), present (maybe) future (NO WAY!) that would be like a judge today telling a criminal before him that since he is sorry for his current crimes that he is pardoned for all crimes for the rest of his life. What judge in his right mind would do that? SIDEBAR OVER Is it not the shed blood that forgives us and the power of the Holy Ghost to help us overcome? If you pluck out your eye, chop off your fingers, cut off your ears, remove your nose, one can still entertain sin. So that is why we need a new heart, to be that new man or new creature. And as you used James, where those works will not save you but give tangible evidence of your repentance and belief. But as I said, everyone thinks they are saved, just preach in public. The most famous verse used besides John 3:16 is found in the Epistle of John These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life with this verse they look you in the eye and say see, I know I have eternal life. But ask them what THINGS did John write that you will KNOW and 9 out of 10 can not answer. Again, salvation is beyond feelings or head knowledge, we see this more than most and the Bible warns of God wiping away tears because loved ones that were expected will not make it and maybe others that we will be surprised. Unless you believe in the Mormon god, then all bets are off because someone will baptize you in the temple and save you so live and let live. Ruben
